VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER
Innovative airband that's easier
to install and see in more places
White OLED Display and White Key
Backlight
The IC-A220 has a bright organic light emitting
diode (OLED) display with a very wide 170
degree viewing angle. White characters on a
black background show clear easy to read operating information. With white key backlighting, the white OLED display matches modern
plane’s instrument panel. In addition, the auto
dimmer function adjusts the display for optimum brightness at day or night.
Operating information is clearly shown on the OLED display.
Easy Channel Selection
It’s fast and easy to select any of memory
channels in the IC-A220. The “flip-flop” arrow
button switches between main and stand-by
channels. The dualwatch function allows you
to monitor two channels simultaneously. In addition, the auto stack memory stores the last
20 channels used and allows you to recall
those channels easily.
Automatic Squelch Function
The new automatic squelch function detects
the signal level and automatically adjusts the
squelch level to maintain a received call. The
manual squelch function allows you to instantly
adjust the squelch level. The squelch test function manually opens the squelch for testing.
